Chapter 624

But soon, three more beams of purple light.

Cao Feng roared furiously, "Break it! Attack the territory stone fast, hurry up!"

The female elf removed it again.

But Tang Ruan cast it once more.

The two female heroes kept using Provoke and removing Provoke.

The Shadow Leopard's form stared at Tang Ruan one moment, then at the territory stone the next.

Wavering back and forth, it could never settle on a target to attack.

Cao Feng was nearly driven mad with rage.

"What the fuck is going on? You four go bite that woman to death, the rest of you attack the territory stone!"

"Aoo!!"

Only then did the Shadow Leopard split into two.

Four of them charged furiously at Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan sneered coldly and activated Genetic Enhancement.

Her whole body trembled, her hands gripping the iron spear tight.

"Just four? Heh heh!"

The Shadow Leopard's speed was indeed exceptional, and its close combat was also quite outstanding.

But no matter how outstanding, it still couldn't compare to the Frenzied Ghoul.

Just now, Tang Ruan had killed five Frenzied Ghouls during the Genetic Enhancement duration.

These four Shadow Leopards really weren't enough to look at.

Pfft!

The iron spear pierced through the skull.

Like cracking open a walnut.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

One Shadow Leopard per second — all four dead within four seconds.

Purple light flashed again, and the Shadow Leopards turned their heads back once more.

Cao Feng could hold back no longer.

"Holy shit, what's the deal with that woman? You two get her, kill her! The rest of you rush in and destroy the territory stone as fast as possible!"

"Understood."

The orc hero and the Shadow Leopard hero charged at Tang Ruan.

Cao Feng anxiously looked left and right.

But the forest was utterly silent.

"Fuck, Zhao Chi must have gone to attack my territory stone too. We have to hurry!!"

Cao Feng stood in the territory, bellowing.

Beside him were the Shadow Leopard and three heroes.

Beyond them stood the buildings.

???

Cao Feng's face was a picture of utter bewilderment.

This is……

"How the fuck did I end up back here?"

He looked at the familiar buildings around him, and the familiar environment, deeply puzzled.

The female elf asked, "my lord, did we…… fail?"

Cao Feng clenched his fists tight.

The veins on his forehead bulged.

"Fuck your mother, Zhao Chi!! Why the hell is he so fast? How is that possible? He must be cheating!!"

Cheating again……

But Cao Feng truly believed Zhao Chi was cheating.

After all, in an ordinary person's mind, no matter how fast a woman was, she could never be faster than a leopard — let alone a Shadow Leopard.

And one that had been buffed by a Haste skill at that.

Cao Feng was truly unreconciled this time.

He had finally spent a fortune to genetically modify all his Shadow Leopards, and had believed he could look down on Zhao Chi.

After all, Shadow Leopards were inherently stronger than humans in terms of stats.

And genetic modification was something ordinary people could never afford.

One had to decompose racial bloodlines.

That was worth a fortune.

This alone shut out the vast majority of commoners.

Even if one spent a fortune to buy a bloodline, and was truly willing to decompose it,

the result still might not yield useful genes.

Even if one obtained useful genes, success wasn't guaranteed — after all, there was the compatibility restriction.

Only after clearing all the above hurdles could the modification be completed.

Cao Feng had completed the modification.

All the Shadow Panthers had been strengthened.

His confidence swelled as never before.

Learning that Zhao Chi was also taking part in the Xinxiu Assembly, he was immensely excited inside.

He watched every single one of Zhao Chi's battles.

Even when the times clashed, he had his family relay the details to him.

Hearing that Zhao Chi had defeated Xiao Rui and Qi Yu in succession without taking a scratch, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Until he saw Zhao Chi's battle against Wei Li.

"Damn it… I can't win."

Cao Feng, in the stands, felt his confidence shatter completely.

Though he was hot-tempered and arrogant, his basic intelligence was still online.

Zhao Chi's army could face Wei Li's Frenzied Ghoul head-on and win, so taking on the Shadow Panthers from the front would be a piece of cake.

Therefore…

The only option was to win through speed.

From the very start, Cao Feng had never intended to fight Zhao Chi head-on.

In the end, he couldn't even match him in speed.

Now, looking at those three-eyed Shadow Panthers, Cao Feng felt nothing but shame.

"What the hell are you good for? What good are three eyes? Useless!"

The Shadow Panthers looked at Cao Feng in confusion.

Zhao Chi also wasn't sure what the Shadow Panthers' three eyes were for.

On the way, he was still pondering and analyzing.

But time was limited, so he focused on hurrying along.

He was dragged the whole way by Gu Qing.

Until they arrived before Cao Feng's Territory Stone.

From afar, he saw moonlight flashing.

Qi Yue's blade-light was endless, hacking, hacking, hacking, hacking, hacking!

From a distance, she had already activated her Continuous Dance combat art, and at the same time unleashed her Moon Blade Slash spiritual technique.

Forty-five moon blades poured forth.

Her exclusive tear stacked up to 45 layers directly.

Before she even reached the Territory Stone, her additional attack power had already increased by 225%.

By the time Gu Qing pulled Zhao Chi along, bringing the female soldiers to arrive, Qi Yue had already gone on a wild hacking spree of over a hundred more strikes.
